5432, 14.332@95.77 NA How low can we go? Posted by bullettdsm, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Well, just ran last night at E-town. Way too crowded, disorganized. Should have been just a Mitsu day. But still had fun and met a LOT of new DSMer's from lots of different groups. 3 runs.
First run, we had no warning. They came to us in staging and said "You're up". Car was cold (170* coolant instead of 195* normally). Heard a valve pop in 2nd gear. NEVER should run cold! That's how you break shit! Got lucky didn't drop the valve and ran a 14.394.
2nd run: 14.558. I got nervous about my buddy's tranny (that I borrowed) so I lifted on my 2-3 shift. Yeah, No lift makes a difference.
3rd run: It had gotten so late that I didn't care about winning my bracket race. I had dialed a 14.45 but said F*** it and ran it like it was a test and tune. Obviously broke out with a 14.332@95.77. That was with a 2.0 launch. Pretty cool numbers, heh heh.
From what I'm seeing, it looks like my top out with the current set-up is going to be in the 14.2's (she was actually not feeling all that good that day. Just didn't "feel" proper. I think it was either too cold for those plugs or I should have changed my plug gap). I now know what launch I want (it's a modification of my RWD launch). But I am out of time to work it. I may try again, one more time this year, but I think I'm going to hibernate and come out with some new surprise next year.
Hey, it's been fun.
